The short term one year contracts Gettleman spoke of are genius in the fact that you can fill a need for a year until the next draft with out tying your hands for too long.

yep. it eliminates a lot of the pressure of having to draft for needs and just get the best players/playmakers.

i just don't trust rookie linemen to not look bad their first year. were it up to me interior linemen would always be vets. i'm not big on drafting any of them, esp. early. i'm even less enthusiatic about starting them early. OT the only benefit of drafting one early is cost vs. picking up a vet. the rest of the guys i'd just rather we keep putting vets who won't get pushed around and make stupid rookie mistakes.

i don't know...i think we can let dwan go. we picked up that run stuffer, colin cole, who could fill the hole we need filled on rushing downs...line him up with canty on rushing downs and bring in alexander and shift hardy inside for passing downs. or other things. we can do without dwan, imo. if we can keep him, though, i wouldn't be upset. he was good in passing situations. if we could rotate dwan in passing sitautions and cole for rushing and have them line up with canty, who can do it all, that would be ideal.

george wilson, kevin boothe, gosider cherilus.....wish panthers had enough to get them guys...dont know much they would cost but they are not that known and had top 10 performances last year at their positions,
